Is anyone having issues hollowing objects (can't go beyond 94.9%)

I've not seen this posted, but it's consistent for me, I can no longer hollow to a round number (integer?).

If I type 80%, it reverts to 79.9%, if I put 95%, it goes to 94.9%, if I put 81% it goes to 80.9%.

Always 0.1% less.

Interestingly, if I want 90% hollow, I type 90.1% and hit enter, it shows as 90% in the build window :o
I can't do this and type 95.1% to get 95% sadly.


Can't believe this is just me.


Thanks

(I bug reported it anyway)

Yes i noticed that, too.
It happens with many of the parameters.
I noticed it most when I tried to make a Torus with path cut, revolutions, and skew applied.
The bug may even affect ALL the parameters... not sure.
It wasn't this way a few weeks ago.
I have yet to determine if 79.9 is effectively different from 80.0 for any of these dimensions.
Even if its not different, it's still a headache because the numbers aren't as easy to read.

I think it's one of the "integers displayed as floating point" errors in 1.13.0 which will be corrected in 1.13.1. You might give the beta test client a try and see if it's correct there.

Thanks for the Heads-Up Shirley, seems OK on the Preview Grid.

I'll wait for Wednesdays update :)

It's not just you. I've had difficulty with this as well. I hope this is going to be addressed in the next update.

As far as I know, it has been this way almost for a year, around the time 1.7 or 1.8 was introduced. It has been fixed and then broken again repeteadly in the past months

It seems to be just a display problem. a 94.9% hollow 10x10 square edge still lines up fine with a 0.5m cube.
